Hi, Seems like a silly question, but I tried searching the wiki and even google, but can seem to find an answer. I want to set server side difficulty to hard, how do I do that?
you can only set your server to have monsters or not have monsters. it's in the server.properties look for spawn-monsters and change it to true. If it's already true you can't really do much more unless there's a mod to spawn more monsters
Ah ok, thanks. I was trying to get that singleplayer-like hard mode where mobs have more HP and do more damage. Looks like I'll have to find plugins for that.
actually there are ways to do this. choose a map with overhangs. use tools to block sunlight in random areas use heavenlymob or similar tokeep certain lag inducing mobs under controll you want hard? expand your map greatly and keep it dark-ish
With the addition of difficulty to Minecraft SMP, I've noticed that the difficulty setting does not apply to Bukkit servers. I assume this is because Bukkit isn't 100% integrated into 1.0.0 features.
That's the reason I linked to server.properties on the Minecraft Wiki. My server does not adhere to that value. All mob damage and associated elements of difficulty are set to normal on my server despite my difficulty being set to 3. I'll try updating my jar again.
#Minecraft server properties allow-nether=true level-name=world enable-query=false allow-flight=false server-port=25565 enable-rcon=false level-seed= server-ip= white-list=false spawn-animals=true online-mode=true server-id=unnamed pvp=true difficulty=1 gamemode=0 max-players=20 spawn-monsters=true view-distance=10 motd=A Minecraft Server This file will be in the file called 'server.properties' open that file with a text editor. I prefer NotePad++ I Bolded difficulty becuase thats you wanna change! 0 is Peaceful Mode (This Turns off Mobs) 1 is Easy Mode 2 is Meduim Mode 3 is Hard Mode
Any additonal worlds, however, are created at difficulty 1 (if my memory serves me correct). If you have more than the standard 3 worlds, you're likely already using a Multi-World management plugin that supports per world difficulty. In Multiverse 2: Code: /mvm set difficulty hard or Code: /mvm set difficulty 3
...................................................................................................................................................... *facepalm* I don't think you read either of my posts. The difficulty is set to 3. The mob damage is the same as 1. Why would I link to the Minecraft Wiki using a very large link if I had not already read it/knew what it said? Thanks, I'm using Multiverse. I'll look into how I can change the difficulty.
It didn't matter whether I used Multiverse or not, you explained something I would have had to have known already from the link provided in my first post.
You're a..... I was attempting to help you. If i knew you had Multiverse i could of told you what to do. Thank you. This conversation is closed.
Why are you both so mad? And it's you're darling. And Chillax, actually read a person's post before trying to help him or her, thank you.
No, you shouldn't stay away from the help section; you should just ask questions before explaining things that the other person may find obvious.
I have an easy solution. get pail and pail plus! with the console they provide you can choose difficulty
once you have used the command Code: /mvmodify set difficulty 3 you will find yaml file that contain all world config in Code: %CraftBukkit Folder%\plugins\Multiverse-Core\worlds.yml
